Women understand women better than
men do, says Hdrper'S Bdzar. That can
not be helped, for they have the touch.
stone of similar natures, trials, joys ana
experiences, and this may make them
more critical, as they are already exact
inc; but criticism and exactingneSs poth
vanish before necessity; let the otner
woman's need rise clearly on their vision
and the ministering angel in their nature
ruffles all the plumes OF her pinlonS III
haste to carry succor.
Tn spite of what satirists and sciolists
NAV have to say on the matter, so far as
our own view has extended we have
e. a'wavs seen one woman ready to be the
friend of another when she has once been
plainly given to understand that her
friendship is required and will be OF
service, and we should advise no yCdng
girl, no young wife, nor woman OF maturer
wears, to seek aid and friendship, on any
occasion, when she finds real need OF
those commodities, from one OF the otner
sex if there is a good and gentle woman
within her reach. The mother that is in
every woman, that is with her from the
day before her first doll came, and Will be
with her after hUr last grandbaby mas
done with dolls, rises at appeal, brings
her emotions into play, and all her
resources with them, enlists all
her energies, and makes her ready to use
every effort forthe other woman, whether
in sore distress or just in teasing trouble.
If she feels that vice must not be smiled
on, that malice must be checked, that
paths which lead to death must be made
hard to treat, shall she be kinder than or
superior to that nature which, in visiting
the sins of the fathers upon the children
as law of heredity, does the same thing!
Yet where this mother of pity is MOTTO be
found in a woman on righteous call, and
she neither feels nor responds to the cry
of trouble in another, then that person
may be woman fair enough in out
ward seeming, but in her heart she is no
woman at all.

A Wet Soldier Who Did His Duty.

An Irishman stationed at Pensacola,
in 1861, was placed upon picket one
night ON the beach, with orders to
walk between two points, and to allow
no one to pass without whispering the
countersign.
About midnight the corporal with
the relief discovered, by the moon
light, that the sentinel was up to his
waist in water, the tide having set in
since he was posted.
"Who goes thereP
"Relief."
HALT, relief; advance corporal and
give the countersign."
Corporal-"I am not going in there
to be drowned; come out here and let
me relieve you"
Sentinel-"Will /, indade! The
liftinant tould me not to lave me post"
Corporal-"Well, then, I'll leave
you in the water all night" (turning
away at the moment)
Sentinel--"Halt! I'll put hole in ye
if ye pass widout the countersign.

its days of usefulness have long since

tanning one.

has been confined to the house for over

he seems to be getting worse all the
time.
What might have been a serious fire,
but for the prompt action of the pro
prietor and guests, occurred at the
Junction House, at Dexterville Junct.
one day last week. Fire caught be-
tween the upper and lower floors from
the stove-pipe in the office and had
made rapid headway before discovery
Several rafters were entirely consumed
and it is almost merlcle that the
building was saved. The damage al
though considerable, is nothing to what
it might have been, and will undoubted-
ly be repaired in a short time.
